At this exhibition, we will introduce our challenges towards realizing our company's purpose of 'A Well-green World where both greenery and people shine brightly' through the development of 3D spatial technology and AI Environmental Operator by bionia studio.

About the Global Nature Positive Summit
The 'Global Nature Positive Summit 2026' is an international conference where leaders from corporations, financial institutions, local governments, researchers, and civil society gather to achieve the common global goal of 'stopping the loss of nature and shifting to a recovery trajectory by 2030'. This summit is not just about environmental protection but also an important venue for discussing the direction of corporate supply chains and future industries, recognizing Nature Positive as a new opportunity for economic growth.
At the concurrent exhibition 'NATURE TECH!', cutting-edge technologies and solutions that support the conservation and restoration of natural capital and biodiversity will be introduced.
Our company will co-exhibit with Tokyu Land Holdings Corporation, introducing the Group's initiatives related to Nature Positive and practical examples of landscape business that connect people and nature. Furthermore, our Group has been working to preserve biodiversity and enhance the value of regional environments through the creation of landscapes aimed at the coexistence of cities and nature. Through this exhibition, our company will also communicate the creation of new economic value through the good cycle of corporate activities and natural capital.
